Mental Health and Suicide Prevention: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2025-05-15
============================================================

Garret Ahearn (CC), Administrative Panel

I thank the Minister of State. I welcome guests of Deputy Jennifer Whitmore from St. Kilian's school, Bray. They are very welcome. I hope they enjoy their day here. They have been listening to a debate on mental health and, in particular, mental health of young people. We have been discussing it for the past hour and a half. As is tradition in the House, the teachers are to give the students no homework tonight, and if they had no homework tonight, it is tomorrow night they are to get no homework. Since I have been here for the past hour and a half I have given no homework to half the country.
